Selanne, who turned 43 in July, had 12 goals and 24 points in 46 games in the lockout-shortened season.

"I'm so happy to be back," said Selanne. "I've always wanted to finish my career in Anaheim, and I plan on making it count."

Selanne's role was slightly diminished last year with the Ducks, who won the Pacific Division title before losing in the first round of the playoffs to Detroit.

Selanne has spent the summer contemplating retirement every year since Anaheim won the Stanley Cup in 2007, always choosing to return to the Ducks.

"It's great to have Teemu back. He clearly still has passion for the game and can't wait to get started," said Ducks executive vice president/general manager Bob Murray. "We are so pleased that Teemu will end his career where he belongs."

Selanne ranks 15th all-time in NHL scoring with 1,430 points and 11th in goals with 675. The five-time Olympian is also the all-time leading scorer in Olympic hockey play with 20 goals and 37 points in 31 games.

The Ducks open training camp on Sept. 11.
